Wink Bingo

In terms of promotions it's not been a vintage year for Wink Bingo. Mind you, it's not been a vintage year for many brands. Big prize games have been in short supply! However, that's not stopped Wink from creating the occasional offer and they have a brand new one for October. Wink's Oktoberfest offers a deposit bonus and the chance to pick up spins, rewards or tickets.

Wink Bingo's Oktoberfest promotion runs from the 25th September to the 4th October 2018. It is for new players only! To qualify for a 200% deposit bonus, first time depositors need to deposit a minimum of £15 using the code FEST. As well as getting a bonus of up to £100 players also receive a play on Wink's Oktoberfest game.

Everyone's A Winner

The Oktoberfest game gives you the chance to win an additional bonus. At the start of the game players are offered 9 different cards. Players need to choose three cards in order to reveal their prizes. These prizes can be up to 500 Wink Rewards, up to 10 Free Spins or up to 96 Bingo Tickets.

Everyone is a winner with the Oktoberfest game! The minimum amount that can be won is 50 Wink Rewards, 50 bingo tickets to the 1 Million Rewards room or 5 free spins on Stork Stash. Note that wagering terms of x50 will apply to wins from the spins as this is paid as a games bonus. The 200% bonus comes with a x4 wagering term too.

A Confusing Offer

This Oktoberfest offer is a little confusing. The standard welcome offer for new players at Wink is spend £10 to get a £30 bingo bonus plus £20 of Wink Rewards. The Wink Rewards can be used to get further bonuses, free spins, bingo tickets and other deals. So why would a newbie choose the Oktoberfest option?

In both cases - provided you make the minimum deposit - you'll collect a £30 bonus (300% at £10 and 200% at £15). This means both offers have the same bingo wagering terms. Therefore the difference comes in respect to what the Oktoberfest game gives versus a guaranteed 2000 Wink Rewards. We suspect that there's probably not much in it. So it comes down to whether a x50 wagering term on the free spins is agreeable.

However, what really confuses us is why Wink have created a new player offer for Oktoberfest but have ignored regulars? Wink, like many brands, seem to be happy with a static programme of games and offers. The old days of regular prize games is long gone, but surely brands like Wink can emulate the likes of Gala, Jackpotjoy and Mecca with more exciting exclusives.
